That's interesting...... can you post a couple of pictures of your car's front wheels with the steering at full left and right? I'd like to compare it to mine.

Hurst65,
I just took my car to a friends house to do some repairs to the lower rear window corners. I'll take some pictures this weekend with the wheels turned left and right.

FWIW, I'm going with Powersteering.com due to the fact it will get rebuilt by a Pro who will give you a 12:1 with the proper 3 turn lock to lock and it has a lifetime warranty. For the extra $100 the warranty IMO is the deal sealer, when it gets sloppy maybe 10 years later send it back and you've got a new box again.

BTW, I'm sending him mine first, getting it disassembled and then sent to get powdercoated with the sections he taped off to not harm the box. He won't charge extra aside from the return shipping for this.
